Our Sheep
Our Katahdin lamb is grass-fed and antibiotic-free, raised with love on pasture here at Windswept Farm in State College, PA. The Katahdin breed is a wonderful breed known for their pleasant demeanors, hardiness on pasture and exceptionally lean, mild-tasting meat.
Our sheep serve an integral part in our mission of regeneration on the farm. They contribute to carbon sequestration by maintaining the pastures and fertilizing the perennial forages that build our topsoil while producing a high quality, nutrient-dense, local & sustainable food source with a minuscule carbon footprint.
Pricing
A Windswept lamb share is going to save you money compared to purchasing items retail, and give you a broad range of cuts to work with. This purchase is a deposit on your lamb share. The remainder will be due upon processing when we know the final hanging weight of the animal. We will contact you at that time for the remaining payment.
Half Share deposit= $100
Full Share deposit= $200
Our pricing is based on the hanging weight of the animal (hanging weight = weight of the carcass minus head, entrails and pelt). You can choose between a whole share and a half share and will take home ~75% of the hanging weight in the final cut and wrapped packages, depending on your selections. This pricing is in addition to the butcher’s fees (~$160/whole animal, or market value at time of processing).
Half share – $11.25/ lb. based on the hanging weight of the animal (~20-27.5 lb. hanging weight)
Whole share – $10.75/ lb. based on the hanging weight of the animal (~40-55 lb. hanging weight)
